Who made the most boneheaded pick in my fantasy football draft?

For the past half decade of so, around this time of year, I’ve written a semi-thoughtful essay about fantasy football. It didn’t take long to notice a trend: Readers would look at the photo of our draft board, completely ignore whatever boring words I wrote, and make fun of our picks in the comments.

In the spirit of giving the people what they want, ridicule is now the entire point of the post. Please vote below to help us determine the most boneheaded pick in my 2014 fantasy football draft.

Background on my fantasy football league is here.With some more here. We drafted last Saturday (before Sunday and Thursday’s games) in Danville. It’s a PPR league, with 6 points for quarterback touchdowns. Special teams TDs count on defense. We all do a shot after the 1st, 4th and 7th rounds; note the stickers get progressively more crooked on the lower third of the board.

A few more thoughts below the poll. You can also vote for the best team at the bottom of the post. But obviously that’s not as much fun.

* Most importantly, please note that No. 2 team Ball Deep and No. 8 team The SMURFFFFFFFS made their annual high maintenance elaborate trade, and their picks have made the board confusing. LeSean McCoy was actually picked #2, Peyton Manning was picked #8, Demaryius Thomas was picked #13 and A.J. Green was #19.

* The over/under on how many people ignore the previous paragraph and call the No. 2 drafter out for taking Demaryius Thomas with the second pick is 4.

* Two of the last three team owners were voted “worst pick” in previous The Big Event polling ended up winning our fantasy Super Bowl.

* The worst pick for each team was determined by post-draft consensus of our league. Keep in mind this was after our not-quite-sure-where-it-got-started tradition of drinking shots of either 1) moonshine; or 2) vodka infused with something disgusting. This year it was vodka with bacon or Reece’s Reese’s Pieces. (See above.) I didn’t try the latter because it was the same color as rainwater gathered in a rusty Dumpster. I heard it was better than the bacon.

* If you used our draft board on the top of this page as a mock draft, you need clinical help. Full disclosure: I would have done the exact same thing.

* The “best” poll is below. I’ve included the top four picks for each team, but to preserve the integrity of this process, please inspect each team’s entire draft board. I’ve included a link to an easier-to-enlarge image on The Big Event Facebook account.
